Really sorry about your dog. When Pepper (our last dog) died my oldest son took it the hardest. I am off to get some frozen peaches! Somehow never thought of putting something like this together. I might also try some canned apricots. Wow!! Thanks for this recipe!! DL

This thread is an excuse for me to report my latest nonsense: The food scraps that got pureed with horse manure tea are bubbling in a jar. The airline is held to the bottom of the jar by passing through a slot in a slotted spoon. Recently added some moldy honeydew. Add & stir.

A five piece place setting can be anything you choose! It depends on what you decide when you register your pattern. I chose luncheon knife and fork, salad/dessert fork, teaspoon and butter knife. I am currently helping a friend who chose a seafood fork as her 5th piece and wants soup spoons by cruising ebay for her. That piece which Sharon/chase calls a dinner spoon is often called a place spoon and more recently an oval soup spoon. I grew up calling it a dessert spoon...my mother would say "do you want to eat your soup with a dessert spoon or a soup spoon?" LOL! Here are some pieces in a pattern I am collecting for my grandndaughter. Left to right...tea spoon, afterdinner coffee spoon, creamed soup spoon, dessert or place spoon and boullion spoon. The regular place setting pieces I am missing are iced tea spoon, and demitasse. To answer the OP a soup spoon is larger than a teaspoon, whether it's oval or round and it's pretty inefficient eating soup with a teaspoon. Left out of the series, though are serving spoons....which is a whole "nother" thing. BTW the pattern shown is Gorham Wreath dating from 1910, I hope Meg doesn't grow up very fast as I love having it! Linda C
